Read what Ofsted said (6)

From Ofsted report, inspected Jun 2022

Strengths

  • “Pupils are well looked after in this school.”
  • “They feel happy and safe.”
  • “Pupils said that if they need help, or if they have any worries, there is always someone to go to.”

To improve

  • “Occasionally, teachers give books to pupils which are too hard for them to read.”
  • “In these instances, pupils exert lots of effort sounding out every phoneme and this hampers their fluency.”
  • “Leaders need to make sure that teachers give pupils books which they can read fluently and confidently.”
